It was about a professor or inventor of some sort who looked a little bit like Benjamin Franklin, he carried an umbrella with a duck's head on the end that could talk and be used as a pogo stick, his best friend was an anthropomorphic badger who wore overalls, and he had a robot named Matilda who's arms and legs were made from tomato soup cans. They went on all sorts of amazing adventures.

It's funny that I can remember almost everything about it, except for the damn name.
